EMP-2-2025 Police staff pay 2025-2026

8 August 2025

Dear colleague

As you may be aware the Police Remuneration Review Body (PRRB) report on police officers’ pay in England and Wales, was published on 1 August. This is a major factor in the determination of police staff pay.

The Employers’ Side (APCC, NPCC and the Home Office) is now undertaking a consultation process and is due to meet with the Trade Union Side (UNISON, GMB and Unite) in late August with a view to respond to the Union’s pay and conditions claim for this year.

We will keep you informed of the outcome and any developments.

Yours sincerely

David Algie
Employers Side Secretariat
